A controversial Grand Designs home that left neighbours living under scaffolding for five years has never been occupied - and locals have since dubbed it 'the glorified greenhouse'.
The striking glass-walled property, perched on the cliffs of East Yorkshire, was hailed as 'breathtaking' by Channel 4 host Kevin McCloud when the show aired last year.
However, for those living nearby, the ambitious build has been less inspiring - with neighbours branding it an 'eyesore' and 'a great place to grow tomatoes'.
Built by wealthy shopping centre magnate Zahid Iqbal, 61, and his wife Ferzana, 57, the project began back in 2019 as an ambitious plan to convert a derelict coastguard's tower into a modern, three-storey retreat with panoramic sea views.
A 10-month build dragged on for five chaotic years - with endless delays, planning blunders, and towering scaffolding looming over home of neighbours living in adjoining 19th century cottages.
